Okay, quick question. I'm a big Sherlockian - read every story and novel by Doyle and several pastiches/tributes by others. I have a man-crush on Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. I can spout Sherlock trivia pretty well.

If I watch Elementary, will I die a little inside or just burst into flame immediately?

Nah, just ignore the fact that it's Holmes (or just realize that it's only a re-visualization of the character) and go with it. Jonny Lee Miller is a good actor, and fun to watch.

AHHHHH HOW DID HE SURVIVE THAT FALL? Damn you Steven Moffat get Series 3 out already!

And is Moriarty dead? (I hope not, that guy is one of the best villains I've seen in any show/movie.)

I don't know...he swallowed a bullet right in front of Holmes...don't know how you'd fake that.

That's what I thought the first time I watched it. But after watching it a second time, I'm not so sure. You hear the gun fire, but you don't see anything. Moriarty falls to the ground, but Holmes never examines the body (pretty unusual for him.)

My wife's a huge Holmes fan (can recite the case file from the books from memory) and she loves Elementary. She finds it a very good interpretation. She was worried at first that having a female Watson would create a lame romance subplot but was happy to see that nothing of the sort appears. That and she likes that the mysteries are written in such a way that she can't figure them out in the first 15 minutes.

The thing that made me laugh, and it was in the freaking trailer, was Holmes saying a panic room can cause the floor of a bedroom to slope by "between one and five degrees"

If your bedroom floor sloped five degrees you would notice it. That is a huge slope, in a twenty foot wide room one end would be a foot lower than the other. No way would that happen.

Spoilers: You do see bits of brain in the blood leaking from Moriarty's head, and Sherlock did see him do it right in front of him. He pulled the gun, put into mouth, and Sherlock pull back in horror. And you see blood pooled around Sherlock's head after the fall. But then, you also see Watson knocked to the ground and smacking his head - this was highlighted in the slo-mo action of it. Maybe dramatic concussive memory lapse, identifying the wrong person (Moriarty, the "actor", or someone else) as Sherlock?

Why would someone want to think like an imaginary character who's thought patterns as written are unrealistic, inconsistent and often outright stupid? Just because the writer SAYS he figured something brilliant out doesn't make it so.
